This Nov. 3. midterm election is almost here.
Austinites will get the chance to cast ballots and help decide on everything from our next U.S. Senator to a handful of local judges. Here are all the candidates on the general election ballot, according to the Secretary of State and Austin-area counties.
Statewide seats, including governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, land commissioner, agriculture commissioner and comptroller are on the ballot. Voters will also elect officials for congressional and legislative offices, the State Board of Education and judicial seats. Locally, five Austin City Council seats are up for grabs along with Travis County’s judge and clerk seats, five Austin ISD board positions, two bond proposals and a handful of changes to the city charter, including one that would mandate outside audits of City Hall.
In-person early voting runs from Oct. 19 to 30.
